Project title

MANCHUGE: re-create lab

Description of initiative

MANCHUGE: re-create lab is a multifaceted project that brings the joy of creative craft to a whole new level. The organizers bring people of different categories together in the MANCHUGE community. The format of the lab is aimed at strengthening the psychological health of both the individual and the community, as well as developing emotional intelligence by participating in creative projects and working with different materials. It is important for them to unite people through work, joy and creativity, to make projects for the city, business and society. They promote the values of sustainable and the concept of "zero waste", so they have developed a system to work with manufacturing businesses in their city and receive from them waste paper, cretonne, textiles and wood. They work with these materials and prolong their life by making art. They believe that they can create a large network of laboratories around the world with the MANCHUGE philosophy. MANCHUGE it is a word you shout when everything works out exactly as you intended.
